I too support this action.
I too share your concerns that there is no plan. We are serving two roles there. We are helping to rebuild and we are helping to fight a war. I fear that there is a confusion between the two goals.
Ultimately there is no way to take over Afghanistan. Replelling invading armies is a national passtime. Sure we can secure the cities (by and large). But beyond the city limits is not possible unless there is a radical change in the fundamentals of their nation.
